Kiwifruit

 


Another colourful utility box I spotted near the centre of town. This one features green and pink Kiwifruit (as we call it here). Painted by local artist Mark Haldane aja Raja. Edited to add: I don't think pink Kiwifruit exist but red does, anyway it's probably how the artist has painted them.


Linking up with Mural Monday.

Much nicer than plain paint...and handy if you are giving directions to someone.."just past the Kiwifruit box then turn off" ?!

Lovely visual taste for all who love Kiwis. We get one from Costco here called Golden Kiwi, which may be similar to the Pink Kiwi, if not the same.
Thank you for sharing your photos with all of us.
Be well!

Good street art. We started seeing kiwifruit here around 40 years ago, and now it is everywhere, though I haven’t encountered a pink one.

I found Kiwi here you can eat whole. Was strange! A Kiwi did my Aussie tattoos. Funny, huh. He added a Kiwi (for free).

Very sweet box. Artists are allowed to "invent" pink kiwis, lol.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Amy.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
